Setting Up Your Studio XPS™Laptop

This section provides information to help you

set up your Studio XPS 1340 and connect the

peripherals.

Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that

you have easy access to a power source,

adequate ventilation, and a level surface to

place your computer.

Restricting airflow around your computer may

cause it to overheat. To prevent overheating

ensure that you leave at least 10.2 cm (4 in) at

the back of the computer and a minimum of

5.1 cm (2 in) on all other sides. You should never

place your computer in an enclosed space, such

as a cabinet or drawer when it is turned on.

NOTICE: Placing or stacking heavy or sharp

objects on the computer may result in

permanent damage to the computer.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS™ Laptop

Connect the AC adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the computer and

then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.

CAUTION: The AC adapter works with

worldwide power outlets. However, power

connectors and power strips vary among

countries. Using an incompatible cable or

incorrectly connecting the cable to a power

strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or

equipment damage.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS™ Laptop

Check the Wireless Control

To turn on wireless, with the computer turned on,

gently touch the wireless control on the

center control cover and then release.

This control allows you to quickly turn off all

your wireless radios (Bluetooth®, WiFi, and

WWAN), such as when you are asked to disable

all wireless radios on an airplane flight. Gently

touching this control once turns off all wireless

radios. Gently touching this control again

returns your wireless radios to their respective

states they were in before you turned them off.

Setting Up Your Studio XPS™ Laptop

Connect the Network Cable

(Optional)

To use a wired network connection, connect the

network cable.
